    • It's intended to mimic the effect of a limited-slip differential, but it's not the same thing.

    The 2012 Focus uses Torque-vectoring.
    Ford says the torque-vectoring feature improves vehicle control during cornering by applying braking force to an individual drive wheel (in this case, one of the front wheels). The amount of braking will be "imperceptible" to the driver, Ford says. The system is meant to imitate the effect of a limited-slip differential.
